The Arkansas Entrepreneurial Policy Map, in collaboration with Startup Junkie, serves as a resource to advocate for entrepreneurs in our state through policy and legislative recommendations to lower barriers to entrepreneurship.
Through continued collaboration with the Kauffman Foundation and Conway Foundation, Conductor had the opportunity to explore more in-depth challenges and barriers Arkansan entrepreneurs face by hosting the 2022 Entrepreneurial Policy Summit.
The three-day summit consisted of about 50 guests, including community leaders, entrepreneurs, city officials, state-wide partners, and entrepreneurial support organizations representing Arkansas’s Northwest, Northeast, Central, Southwest, and Southeast regions. Guest speakers and facilitators guided discussions of region-specific barriers and issues around entrepreneurship. Findings of the summit brought awareness to entrepreneurial barriers that had characteristics of rural or urban areas of Arkansas rather than regionality.
